Slide Rail Mechanism with Movable Bracket for Adaptable Load Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing slide rail mechanisms face challenges in enhancing the support capability to accommodate varying weights of carried objects, requiring a more robust and adaptable design.
Innovation Solution
The slide rail mechanism incorporates a rail member with a supporting member and a fastening member that can move relative to each other along a longitudinal direction, featuring a reinforcement member and auxiliary structures that allow the fastening member to change states, enhancing support and adaptability by blocking features and utilizing lock mechanisms for secure positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the weight of the carried object is increased, then the support capability requirement increases, but the existing slide rail mechanism cannot accommodate heavier loads
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic support system where the bracket can move along the rail member and be positioned at different locations. This dynamic positioning capability allows the mechanism to adapt to varying weight distributions and center of gravity positions of carried objects, resolving the contradiction between requiring high support capability for heavy loads and maintaining adaptability to different weight scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The slide rail mechanism is divided into separable components: a rail member with reinforcement, a movable bracket, and a fastening member. This segmentation allows the bracket to be repositioned along the reinforced rail to accommodate different weight distributions, enabling the system to handle varying loads while maintaining structural integrity through the reinforced rail design
2Strength
If the support capability is increased to handle heavier loads, then the structural strength must be increased, but this may increase device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The reinforcement member is integrated directly with the rail member to form a combined reinforced rail structure. This merging of the reinforcement function into the existing rail component provides enhanced structural strength for supporting heavier loads without introducing separate, complex reinforcement systems, thus improving strength while minimizing additional complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening member is designed to automatically engage with the bracket when the bracket is positioned at the desired location along the rail. This self-fastening mechanism eliminates the need for manual fastening operations or complex fastening systems, providing secure attachment while keeping the overall device structure simple
